The Qadr is a 2,000km-range, liquid-fuel and ballistic missile which can reach territories as far as Israel, an enemy more particularly mentioned since an Israeli F-16 was shot down after a reprisal raid ensuing the destruction of an Iranian drone had overflown the Israeli territory, having taken off from a base in Syria. The Qadr can carry different types of ‘Blast’ and ‘MRV’ (Multiple Reentry Vehicle) payloads to destroy a wide range of targets. The new version of Qadr H can be launched from mobile platforms or silos in different positions and can escape missile defense shields due to their radar-evading capability.

The Fajr-5 Multiple-Launch Rocket System is another home-made weapon produced by Iran designed for use against short-range targets. The previous version of the Fajr 5 was developed by Iran in 1990s. Iran’s Defense Ministry unveiled five new military products on Monday, February 6, 2017 including the new Fajr 5 MLRS.It’s already an old weapon. In 2012, Iran had delivered many ones to the Palestian resistance.
